The Null Device

2008/10/3

According to a recent mailout from Chris Morris fan list Cook'd And Bomb'd, Morris' latest project, a comedy about Islamist jihadists in Britain, has been cancelled by Channel Four. The good news is that Warp Films, the independent arthouse film branch of the IDM/electronica label Warp, has picked it up, provided it attracts independent funding. To wit, Morris is asking people to pledge to donate £25, which might give them a chance to be an extra in the film:

Following rumours in the press and online Warp Films can confirm that
Chris Morris' comedy about british jihadis is being made by Warp Films
as an independently funded cinema feature. The script has been written
by Chris in collaboration with Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain and is now
ready to shoot. Production will begin as soon as we are fully funded.
To that end we are running a number of investment schemes including
donations which give you the chance to be in the film.
